Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to design a High Ampere (4-8A) Bipolar stepper Driver and I am looking at various possibilities now.

I came across the L6203 4A Full Bridge from ST. This is the basic L297/L6203 Bipolar Stepper driver setup.

L297 + 2 x L6203 Full Bridge ===> 4A Max per Phase

I checked the L6203 Datasheet and it says 4A MAX in FULL Bridge Mode. I was just wondering if its possible to use the L6203 in a half bridge mode? So my setup would look like:

L297 + 2 x L6203 Half Bridge + 2 x L6203 Half Bridge ===> 8A Max per Phase

Is such a setup possible? Any idea/Suggestion/Opinion is highly appreciated.

Please Advice!

Thank You,

Joe!
